Northern Region
Gulu, Lira, West Nile and Karamoja.
The North is where development programmes concentrate, which makes it the region where independent verification matters most. Donors and head offices commission checks precisely because they cannot get there themselves.
- Researcher based in the district
- Covered regularly from the regional hub
- On request, travel quoted separately
What we cover here
Gulu, Lira, West Nile and Karamoja.
Getting there
Gulu base, covering Lira, Kitgum and Apac. Arua and Moroto are reachable but are planned day-plus trips.
What clients ask us to do in Northern.
Regions differ. What a bank needs checked in Kampala is not what a donor needs checked in Gulu, and the brief is written accordingly.
- 01
Independent verification that a funded programme activity actually happened
- 02
Beneficiary and household spot checks against a distribution list
- 03
Supplier and contractor confirmation for humanitarian procurement
- 04
Site and infrastructure condition reporting with dated, located photographs

A district that is not listed is not a refusal. Ask us, and we will quote it with the travel shown as its own line for you to approve, or tell you honestly that we cannot do it well.
Everything we offer is available in Northern.
Turnaround varies with distance from the hub. The quote always states the date we will be on site.
Business and property verification
Confirm that a company, premises, plot or asset exists, is occupied, and is what the other party says it is.
Market intelligence
Prices, stock, competitors and distribution, collected in the market rather than estimated from a desk.
Mystery shopping
See your branch, outlet or agent the way an ordinary customer does, not the way a scheduled inspection does.
Tourism and hospitality intelligence
Verify a lodge, camp, operator or route before you book a client into it or put it in your catalogue.
Field surveys and interviews
Structured data collection from households, traders, farmers or programme participants, in the local language.
Data collection for AI and research
Licensed, consented, locally sourced imagery, audio and text from Uganda, collected to a written specification.
Identity, address and background checks
Confirm that a person lives where they say, worked where they say and holds the certificate they showed you.
Loan, collateral and claim checks
See the collateral, the borrower's business and the loss behind a claim before money moves, and after.
Beneficiary and payroll verification
Check a list of people against the people themselves: who exists, who qualifies, and who received what.
School, health and service point checks
Unannounced visits that record whether a school, clinic or water point is open, staffed, supplied and working.
Project and asset monitoring
See how far a building, road or water system has really got, and whether equipment you paid for is where it should be.
